The Strike at Hartford.

HARTFORD, May 3.-The threatened strike of the members of the Hartford Carpenters union No. 43, at five o'clock yesterday after noon, was failure. Of the 250 men en- ployed in shops working ten hours, not over twenty obeyed the order of the union, and some of these returned to their old places this morning, with the promise that they would work ten hours. Not more than half of the 250 are union men. While the union hours, it is said by the master builders that nearly all of this number have been working in shops where shorter hours have been in force for some time, and that nothing has been gained by the strike. The builders re- port that not enough men have left them to interfere with their contracts.
 There is considerable jealousy between the Knights of Labor and the strict trades unions The mode of government is different and each claims to be the better. The striking painters are members of the Painters assem- bly,, K. of L., and were united almost to a man; the carpenters are members of trades union and were about equally divided on the nine hour demand. This is claimed by the Knights to show the superiority of their or- ganization. Outside of a regret fer the ef- feet of the carpenters failure upon the fight for shorter hours there is little sympathy from the Knights.
 The fourth week of the painters strike finds nearly all the men at work in union shops A few have returned to their former places and are working ten hours, while the remainder are working nine hours under new bosses.
